BACK ISSUES

Remember that you can view any of the previous editions of the VAC home page via
the Archive link at the top.

Back in 2009 a decision
was taken to draw up a new VAC records list, based on very
recent and well documented captures as well as new ones going
forward.

The most recent addition to this list is this 8.12 bream from
our popular fishery at Smallford. Caught by long-time General
Committee member and former Match Chairman Brian Lakin, it's one
of a number of 5lb+ bream netted during early April on pellet.

News from AGM...it's
life for Del
It was a short and succinct AGM in early April when the proposed
increased subscriptions were approved by the members present
along with nominations for club officers and sign-off of the
Director's Report.

Perhaps the evening's highlight was the award by VAC President
Brian Bangs to Frogmore head bailiff Derek Greening (right in
picture) of a Life Membership award.

Derek has been a VAC officer for over 34 years and as well as
being instrumental in many of the improvements at Frogmore he is
also a level angling coach and secretary for the VAC fisheries
committee.

Match News

After a long and wet winter the
green shoots of spring are now here. That should mean more action on
our popular Tuesday matches which each week attract 10 or more. A
fixture list for these can be found on the Match pages

Results at Frogmore have been patchy at times but Chris Stride
(right) had it sorted with his win in late March netting over 40lb
of carp.

The Spring warm-up fixtures also continue. Over 46lb was needed to
win on a cold and damp day at Puddledock. The new season's
fixture list should be published by the time you see this so act now
to get the key dates into your dairy.

VAC fixtures check out the match pages via the link top-left.
